       2. The terminal of  claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to output a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the first video and the second video, in response to a preset touch input applied to the timeline of the one single video. 
     
     
       3. The terminal of  claim 2 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to output a delete icon at a position adjacent to the timeline of the one single video, wherein the delete icon is provided for deleting at least one of the plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the first video and the second video. 
     
     
       4. The terminal of  claim 2 , wherein the controller edits at least one of the plurality of thumbnail images, in response to a preset touch input applied to the at least one thumbnail image. 
     
     
       5. The terminal of  claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to output a plurality of videos captured by each of a plurality of cameras on divided screen regions of the display unit, respectively, in response to a preset user input, stores the plurality of videos as a second, single video, and further controls the display unit to output a timeline of the second, single video in the camera preview mode. 
     
     
       6. The terminal of  claim 5 , wherein the controller controls the display unit to output a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of videos displayed on separate screen regions of the display unit, respectively, in response to a preset touch input applied to the timeline of the second, single video. 
     
     
       7. The terminal of  claim 6 , wherein the controller edits at least one of the plurality of thumbnail images, in response to a preset touch input applied to the at least one thumbnail image. 
     
     
       8. The terminal of  claim 6 , wherein the controller deletes one of the plurality of thumbnail images and a video corresponding to the one thumbnail image, in response to a preset touch input applied to the one thumbnail image, and
 wherein the controller recaptures the video corresponding to the deleted thumbnail image to be a part of the second, single video, in response to a preset user input. 
 
     
     
       9. The terminal of one of  claim 5 , wherein the controller captures a third video subsequent to the second, single video in response to a preset user input, stores the second, single video and the third video as a fourth, single video, and controls the display unit to output a timeline of the fourth, single video in the camera preview mode. 
     
     
       10. A method for controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
 (a) outputting a first video captured in response to a preset touch input, and outputting a timeline of the first video in a camera preview mode; 
 (b) capturing a second video subsequent the first video in response to a preset user input; and 
 (c) storing the first video and the second video as one single video, and outputting a timeline of the one single video, wherein a timeline of the second video follows the timeline of the first video, in the camera preview mode; 
 wherein the step (c) comprises 
 outputting a thumbnail image corresponding to a time point of the one single video on an output region, in response to a preset touch input applied to the timeline of the one single video, and 
 reproducing the one single video starting from the time point corresponding to the thumbnail image on the output region, in response to a preset touch input applied to the thumbnail image. 
 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 10 , wherein the step (c) comprises outputting a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the first video and the second video, in response to a preset touch input applied to the timeline of the one single video. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the step (c) comprises outputting a delete icon at a position adjacent to the timeline of the one single video, wherein the delete icon is provided for deleting at least one of the plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the one single video. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the step (c) comprises editing at least one of the plurality of thumbnail images, in response to a preset touch input applied to the at least one thumbnail image. 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 10 , wherein the step (a) comprises outputting a plurality of videos captured by a plurality of cameras on divided screen regions of a display unit, respectively, in response to a preset user input, storing the plurality of videos as a second, single video, and outputting a timeline of the second, single video in the camera preview mode. 
     
     
       15. The method of  claim 14 , wherein the step (a) further comprises outputting a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of videos on separate screen regions of the display unit, respectively, in response to a preset touch input applied to the timeline of the second, single video. 
     
     
       16. The method of  claim 15 , wherein the step (a) further comprises editing at least one of the plurality of thumbnail images in response to a preset touch input applied to the at least thumbnail image. 
     
     
       17. The method of  claim 16 , wherein the step (a) further comprises:
 deleting one of the plurality of thumbnail images and the video corresponding to the one thumbnail image, in response to a preset touch input applied to the one thumbnail image, and 
 recapturing the video corresponding to the deleted thumbnail image, to be a part of the second, single video, in response to a preset user input. 
 
     
     
       18. The method of  claim 14  further comprising:
 capturing a third video subsequent the second, single video, in response to a preset user input, 
 storing the second, single video and the third video as a fourth, single video, and
